Katie Hopkins was due to appear at the Bedford Corn Exchange next year A local council has cancelled Katie Hopkins's show at a venue it runs. The media commentator, well-known for her controversial views that have seen her banned from Twitter for violating its hateful content policy, was due at Bedford Corn Exchange next year. A petition against her appearance said Ms Hopkins did "not belong in our proudly multi-racial, diverse town". A spokesman for Bedford Borough Council said it cancelled the event as it did not support its objective.
